'It's 58 degrees north of the celestial equator, which means it would be overhead from 58 degrees north (the latitude of places like Ullapool in Scotland). 'The radiant for the Perseids – the point in the sky the meteors appear to come from – is in Perseus, and high in the Northern Hemisphere of the sky,' he said. The event is best for viewing in the Northern Hemisphere, as Dr Massey explains. The name 'Perseids meteor shower' comes from the fact meteors appear to shoot out from the Perseus constellation – the 24th largest constellation in the sky. The comet will come within one million miles of Earth on Augand August 24, 2261. It ploughs through our Solar System once every 133 years, with the last pass in 1992. The Swift-Tuttle Comet, which causes the Perseids, spans 16-miles wide and is formed of ice and rock. The superheated air around the meteors glows and leaves behind trails of light and explosions in the form of fireballs. If this happens in Earth's path around the sun, they can head towards our atmosphere at high speeds. When comets travel close to the sun, they heat up and disintegrate. 'In 2021 the Perseid meteor shower is active between 16 July and 23 August, with the number of meteors increasing every night until it reaches a peak in mid-August, after which it will tail off,' according to the Royal Museums Greenwich.

In previous years the peak meteor count for the Perseids has been up to 100 meteors per hour, according to NASA, but this week the US space agency expects around 40. The best way to catch a glimpse of the show, which happens every year, is away from the lights of towns, cities, buildings, and trees and where there is a clear view of the horizon.Īt this year's peak, the moon will be in a thin crescent phase, creating perfect viewing conditions without interference from moonlight because it will only be at about 20 per cent illumination.įor stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere, experts recommend watching for the meteor shower after 10pm local time, but it will be at its best during the early hours of dawn. 'If you're in a city, you may only see a few every hour skywatchers in the Southern Hemisphere will also see fewer Perseids, with none visible below about 30 degrees south latitude.' 'If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, and far away from light pollution, you might spot more than 40 Perseids an hour,' NASA said. The meteor shower is often dubbed the best of the year because of how bright and active it is, with up to 40 meteors per hour expected this year. The peak of the Perseids is expected to take place on Thursday night into the early hours of Friday when the sky is at its darkest.
